Knowledge Base

Welcome to the public technical knowledge base. This repository is a curated collection of evergreen technical knowledge, product & stack research, deep-dive documentation, unbiased platform comparisons, and tool catalogues.

Domains & Scope

The knowledge base currently covers deep research into the following technological domains:

  • Observability: Telemetry layers, TSDBs, log aggregators, and distributed tracing.
  • Infrastructure: Container runtimes, generic VM orchestrators, and bare-metal management.
  • CI/CD: Pipeline definitions, software supply chains, and automated deployments.
  • Tools Catalogue: Categorized lists of interesting repositories and AI capabilities.

Observability

  • Grafana Ecosystem — The de facto visualization & observability layer
  • LGTM Stack — A unified, comprehensive telemetry stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir, Pyroscope)
  • VictoriaMetrics — Ultra-lean, high-performance time-series database

Infrastructure

  • Kubernetes — The industry standard container orchestration engine
  • Docker — Container runtime and multi-service development suite
  • OpenStack — Highly customizable, open-source cloud infrastructure stack
  • OpenNebula — Lightweight, VM-based edge and infrastructure management platform

Reference Policy

  • Distilled Context over Duplication: We prefer synthesized, critical operational insights over raw documentation dumps. Official documentation serves as the ultimate source of truth.
  • Unbiased Comparisons: Choices are tracked through dedicated neutral comparison pages allowing a fair contrast of architectural trade-offs.

Use the sidebar navigation to explore tools, concepts, operational notes, and architectural diagrams. Each major technology generally includes sections covering: - Questions: Resolved unknowns and system limitations. - How it Works: Low-level mechanics and component diagrams. - Benchmarks: Real-world performance limits and metrics. - Architecture: System topology and protocol flows.
